Gaming Curfew

Gaming Curfew

Did you know in China there is a gaming curfew? People can only have 90 minutes on weekdays from 8am to 10pm and on the weekends and public holidays people can only have 3 hours. Did you also know that children aged from as little from 8 to 18 can spend at least $30 bucks on gaming each month? And did you know that in one year children can spend up to $360?

 Gaming can be classified dangerous but only if you ‘overuse’ the purpose. First of all Gaming can become addictive,- A condition of being addicted to a particular substance or activity- games such as Fortnite,mobile device games like Candy Crush,Prodigy and other games can be addictive. There’s also now a military-style camp for parents whose children are addicted to games. WHO-World Health Organization- has also found a disorder for gaming. A gaming disorder does not just mean for a person to play video games a bit too much.
WHO has classified it as a much more deliberate condition,which has a very negative impact on a person's well-being.
It can be recognized by these symptoms:

• Impaired control over gaming-When a person is playing games for a various period of time,very regularly,without the ability to stop themselves from doing so. 
• Increasing priority given to the gaming to the quantity that gaming takes precedence over life interest and daily activities- When a person place’s gaming more important than daily activities like eating,washing,going to the toilet or even leaving the house. 
• Continuation or escalation of gaming despite the occurrence of negative consequences- When a person is unable is stop gaming, despite it having a significant strong negative impact on their personal wellbeing, family, school or work life, and social ability. 

In order for a person to officially be diagnosed with this order they have to be shown all above symptoms to a very extreme level for at least 12 months. This gaming order has to be more than playing video games a little to much.

I am going to reason why gaming is also a positive thing.

Gaming can help improve a lot of things like:

•  Your concentration-span- An obvious thing to point out about gaming as the person/people playing the game need to concentrate. 
• Magnified teamwork contribution-When a person playing a video game, the person needs to work as a team in a multiplayer game. Even though the person is working as a team she or he needs to be able to make decisions for the team.
•  Improved motor-skills- Playing video games also needs some fine motor-skills-When a person has to move the fingers and the thumbs on various buttons very efficiently and very precis.This may not be found in all video games. 
• Enriched social-skills-Most people playing games online like to guide people in helping the team or duo to win or find the objective of the game.

 I hope you can decide either limiting gaming with a curfew or let people decide how long we can play games for.

Fireworks

Fireworks

I can hear a loud whistle boosting into the sky. I step out to find a massive sound ringing in my ears.I seek to find that mysterious explosive. I swung myself around and found a big ball of smoke. I wait on my doorstep still keeping my eyes locked on where I saw that smoke.The smoke started to disappear into the night. I got tired of waiting and was about to go back inside when I hear another whistle, it must be the explosive. My eyes watch what looked like a bird speeding for a worm shoot up and pop… It bursted into what looked like part of a lion main. Then another and another popped into the sky,my eyes were dazzling as I walked down the porch and stared into the sky. This was majestic as can be. To finish with the beautiful stars above.

 The next morning I woke up with fresh eyes. I bounced out of bed-Those fireworks made must of me me improve in my way I act- and sprung for the Tv remote. I switched the Tv on while lounging on the couch. The news flicked on “ several fire calls during the night have been reported.” I hear from the news reporter. “Citizens of the public are using fireworks incorrectly. Firefighter’s are told to be ready to fight as the number of fire could rise” I sat there with a face of disapproval.

Topic Identity

In my hub we have Topics-Topics are where we can research something or to presentand share- for Term 4 we have the topic-Identity-What is your name?

On the 15th of October my hub found out what our names meant. We viewed a video of Taiye Selasi who asked why cant you just ask me where am I a local rather than where I am from? 

This is where my teacher Miss Gallagher found the three R's. R number 1 Rituals. This is what the things you do everyday maybe you say a prayer before you go to bed or you eat a setian food in the morning,R number 1.

Rain Writing

Rain

I can hear tiny little droplets of water                                       
forcing itself towards the ground. 

 If I were deaf the coldness of the rain
 would make me shiver. 

 And I should know the rain by the bland
 taste and the aftertaste of nothing. 

The solid beat sound of the rain makes me 
want to be a conductor.

If I shall not
 feel,hear,smell,see or even
 a slight taste. 

 You would still 
 characterize me 
 circlaute me 
 shower over me
